ESPN BET is defunct — PENN/ESPN terminated the deal; PENN rebranded it to
theScore Bet (Dec 1 2025) and ESPN is now exclusive with DraftKings. Removed
the ESPN BET entries from the BookChip map (web/src/lib/books.js) and added
theScore Bet (mono TS, slug thescore) as the successor. Added 'thescore' to the
backend oddsNormalizer ALLOWED_BOOKS so the feed's lines are accepted; synced
the bookWordmark test list. The ESPN references in src/config/sports.js are
ESPN's STATS API (data provider, unrelated to the sportsbook) — left untouched.
Flagged in specs/design-reference/HANDOFF.md that the design mockups' BookChip
row still shows ESPN BET and needs the same one-swap on the next refresh.
